Exporting a site - for back-up

There is a Google API for backing up sites and attachments. I tried it with one of my larger sites and it hung up about half-way through. With this small site it worked fine - it just keeps the basic text and attachments as output, and not the formatting, but as a basic backup, it's a start. Google doesn't really encourage back-ups as they will keep your stuff forever. However, it it makes you feel better to have a copy on a local drive somewhere, this might do the trick.

Here's a page of the site I started with:

I downloaded the executable Java application from Google (google-sites-liberation.jar), opened the application, then used the following settings:

You'll use your usual EPSB password (which most of you don't have currently - you're using your network password). Send me a quick email and I'll set you up to test this.

Get the webspace name from your site URL.

Choose a place to save it (make a new folder first - as it will create a new folder for every page on the site.)

and hit "export".

It just exports the frame with the content, not the site navigation, gadgets, etc. (really, how could it?)
